Healthy Home
Brilley homes are designed with consideration to factors that contribute to the health of a home.
Healthy Home principles are incorporated into the building design, specification and construction process.
Considerations include;
- Construction materials
- Materials and Finishes
- Quality indoor air
- Ventilation
- Thermal comfort
- Lighting
- Pollutant minimisation
- Site environmental care
Design considerations are given to the reduction of pollutants that can be inhaled, ingested and absorbed throughout a home.
“Australia has one of the highest prevalence of asthma in the world”
“Poor indoor air quality can result in significant adverse impacts on our health and environment. The CSIRO estimates that the cost of poor indoor air quality in Australia may be as high as $12 billion per year (Brown, 1998).”
“The adverse effects, in the form of illness and complaints, of inadequate indoor air quality on the health and wellbeing of occupants is now being recognised”.
